During the fourth review of the order, heard on July 27, 2018, the panel concluded that if he was allowed to return to nursing, there would be a "risk of significant harm".

The report states: “The panel noted that Mr Faizey has had a significant period of time to reflect on his nursing failings and remediate his practice, yet he does not appear to have done so.

“In light of the above, the panel was of the view that there is a real risk of repetition and a risk of significant harm should Mr Faizey be permitted to return to nursing practice.

“The panel therefore decided that a finding of continuing impairment is necessary on the grounds of public protection.”

The report notes that the panel was concerned that Faizey does not believe his actions put patients at risk of significant harm.

It adds: “The panel had borne in mind that its primary function was to protect patients and the wider public interest which includes maintaining confidence in the nursing profession and upholding proper standards of conduct and performance.

“The panel determined that, in this case, a finding of continuing impairment on public interest grounds is required.”

The panel determined that a further period of suspension would “not serve any useful purpose”.

The report added: “The panel determined that it was necessary to take action to prevent Mr Faizey from practising in the future and concluded that the only sanction that would adequately protect the public and serve the public interest was a striking-off order.”
